The Pittsburgh Collection Volumes 1 & 2

William Fitzsimmons

The vinyl version also includes the first ‘Pittsburgh’
mini album (previously available on CD only) and
is titled ‘The Pittsburgh Collection Volumes 1 & 2:
Pittsburgh & Charleroi’.

William Fitzsimmons is often compared to
contemporaries Sufjan Stevens, Iron & Wine and
the late Elliott Smith, not only for his unique style
and skill in writing and proclivity to deal with
substantive and evocative subject matter but also
for his use of organic and colourful melodies and
arrangements.

William Fitzsimmons is equal parts songwriter and
psychotherapist, creating captivating music that
uniquely melds depravity, honesty and
autobiography into a counter-intuitive seamless
whole.

William Fitzsimmons’ newest mini album ‘Charleroi:
Pittsburgh Volume 2’ is the second part of his
‘Pittsburgh’ story: “The ‘Pittsburgh’ album was
about the grandmother I knew. ‘Charleroi’ is about
the one I never did,” says William.
